Former resident caughtup in Japan earthquake

TC120411S1

LOUISE GEORGE KITTAKA with husband Yoshi and their children, Tsuyoshi, Reina and Marin.

The cherry blossoms are bloom-ing in Japan, and former Te Awa-mutu resident Louise GeorgeKittaka says these symbols ofspring and new life are especiallypoignant this year.

Mrs Kittaka, who grew up in TeAwamutu and did her schooling atWaikeria Primary, Te AwamutuIntermediate and Te Awamutu Col-lege, lives in Tokyo with her Japan-ese husband Yoshi and their twoschool age daughters.

She was riding her bicycle homefrom her local station in WestTokyo on the afternoon of Friday,March 11.

‘‘As I turned into our street, Isaw the owner of the barber’s shopon the corner and heard him callsomething about ‘earthquake’.

‘‘Thinking he was asking howmy family was after the recentChristchurch quake, I replied,‘Thanks, they’re all fine!’.

‘‘He looked at me oddly andcalled out again, ‘It’s an earth-quake!’ That’s when I felt it. Theground seemed to be rolling andinstinctively I got off my bike andcrouched down in the street.

‘‘Living in Japan, you get used tominor tremors now and again, butthis was far from minor.

Everyone talks vaguely of the‘big one’ which is supposed to hitTokyo some day and I reallythought, ‘This is it!’

‘‘I’d just come back from ameeting for work downtown. Myolder daughter, Reina, whocommutes an hour by train and busto her middle school, had texted meto say she had arrived home, too.

Since it was exam week, the kidsdidn’t have school in the after noon.

‘‘After the quake subsided, Irushed back to our house. One ofour neighbours was already goingdoor to door, asking if everyone wasOK. I came home to find my 13-year-old daughter still crouching underthe table, clutching one of our cats.She was upset but unhurt.

‘‘I tried to call the local primaryschool where my 10-year-old Maringoes, but the phones were all out ofaction. Luckily, the Internet wasstill working and I made contactwith a friend who lives near theschool. She said she could see thekids gathered in the playgroundwith their teachers. A friend’smother dropped my daughter home

about 30 minutes later.’’Mrs Kittaka logged on to

Facebook and it soon became appar-ent that the centre of the quake wasin the Tohoku area, several hoursnorth of Tokyo.

The initial reports of quakedamage were followed by thehorrifying news of the tsunamiwaves wiping out entire coastalcommunities.

‘‘I emailed my 16-year-old sonTsuyoshi, going to high school inNew Zealand, and my parents, Kenand Maureen George, in Te Awa-mutu to tell them we were safe.

‘‘I couldn’t contact my husband,who lives away from home duringthe week for his job. I wasextremely worried as he was muchcloser to the centre, and so it wassuch a relief when he managed tocall us that evening to say he wassafe. The highways shut down andit took him 12 hours to drive back toTokyo, finally arriving at 5 a.m.

Trains all over the city stoppedrunning, meaning millions of

people were forced to walk home orstay overnight at the office.

‘‘One of my friends walked forsix hours to get back from work toher young children. I was so thank-ful my older daughter was homeearly that day from school, or elseshe would have been stuck atschool.

‘‘The next few weeks were confusing and stressful, with worsen-ing news of the death toll and theadded threat of radiation from theFukushima nuclear reactor. Withthe school spring break coming up,lots of my foreign friends decided togo back to their home countries fora break.’’

The government implementedrolling blackouts to save power, andfor a while petrol was rationed,with cars lining up for hours just toget 20 litres.

‘‘Aftershocks continued for thefirst few weeks, leaving the kidsfearful of going to sleep for a while.

Now, however, the mood inTokyo has lightened somewhat.

Panic buying has subsided andfood and petrol supplies are back tonormal, although scheduledblackouts continue. For the timebeing, the nuclear reactor situationis not affecting Tokyo. Water in ourarea is safe and no special measuresare called for. The efforts in Tohokuhave turned from rescue to recov-ery, as thousands are still living inschool gyms, community centersand other evacuation zones.

‘‘This week I packed up sometoys and clothes my girls hadoutgrown, along with some newkids underwear, socks and basicnecessities like toothpaste andsoap. I sent them off to an Austra-lian fiend in Tohoku who is help ingto co-ordinate relief efforts in herarea.

‘‘As I packed the boxes, Ireflected on how much I have to begrateful for. Our family is safe, witha roof over our heads, a fridge full offood and the freedom to go aboutour daily lives — something we willnever take for granted!’’

Waipa still struggling with prioritiesAt the March 29 Council

meeting, discussion took placeon district governance andproposed fees and charges.

There may be a slightincrease on some fees. It isonly fair that the user pays,otherwise those costs wouldfilter through to general rates.

In saying that, Councilmust operate efficiently tocontrol and manage thosecharges.

Several good recommenda-tions were put forward by theTe Awamutu CommunityBoard — well done. To developa cycle route to Kihikihi fromTe Awamutu, improve signage

to enhance motorist aware-ness of cyclists at the Cam-bridge Road roundabout andto generally tidy up Centen-nial park adjacent to theskateboard area.

A cycleway from Te Awa-mutu to Kihikihi would be awonderful idea.

It has been raised before inCouncil.

Walkers, runners, cyclists,mobile scooters would all useuse it with safety as well.Kihikihi development wouldbe greatly enhanced.

I made a statement at themeeting: cycleway to Kihikihi— no money available; Cen-

tennial park upgrade - nomoney available; Te Rorewater supply maintenance —no money available; PicquetHill subdivision — no water,no money; proposedvelodrome at $3.5 Million — noproblem; Cambridge pool pro-ject, $10 Million of ratepayersmoney including asset sales —no problem.

We seem reluctant to learn.The velodrome decision

comes up soon aftersubmissions close in April.There are mixed opinions onthis project.

The Cambridge swimmingpool. This project was passed

at a 2007 Council meting and isstill on the books. It can onlyproceed if just under $5Million is publicly raised.

When a professional firmwas employed at a great cost,only around $50,000 was forth-coming. Now the Cambridgecouncillors want to try againfor public contributions.

In reality Waipa will stillhave to borrow millions ofdollars, rates will increaseanother 2% to 3% and it willcost over $1 Million a year torun — why at this point intime would we even contem-plate it.

Ngaroma centenary in January 2012On January 28-29, 2012

(Anniversary weekend), TheDistrict of Ngaroma will cel-ebrate its centenary —marking 100 years since thefirst settlers arrived.

One of the early settlerswas Sarah Mankelow and sev-eral of her descendants stillreside in the district to thisday.

From stories told to me bymy own grandmother (Sarah’sdaughter), times were veryhard upon there arrival withthick bush and heavy scrubgiving way to unfertilepatches of tussock land wasbroken in by hand and horse.

A timber mill flourished asdid a small township andschool but these eventually

gave way to progress andclosed in the mid 70s.

Dry stock and dairy farm-ing are now the main activityin what could only bedescribed as lush and fertilefarmland.

A very comprehensivebook compiled by ChrissieMankelow titled ‘Memories ofNgaroma 100 years’ is to be

published for anyone inter-ested in local history.

A copy of this book andregistration for the weekendcan be sought by visitingwww.ngaromacentenary.co.n-z

We look forward to catch-ing up.

Massive debt the real nonsenseIn reply to Dean Taylor’s

letter in response to myletter in the Courier onMarch 31:

My suggestion of sellingartefacts to pay for themuseum ‘‘is a nonsense’’ hestates.

Loading up the ratepayerwith a $15 Million plus debt— that is super nonsense.

You say the Museum hasa policy of not selling don-ated artefacts. I wouldchange that policy, it’s notset in stone.

I would have a worldwideauction using Sotheby’s ofLondon and sell the lot.

I would get the $40 Millionas it has been valued at in theCourier and give it to the

Waipa District Council.The Council would then

be debt free, our rates woulddrop by 25%.

Let’s take a poll on this.You artefact collectors wantany bits, go and bid up usingyour own money, not rate-payers’ money.

CASTLETON PARK has been a combined community effort. Participants have included, from left:adjoining landowner Ken Castleton, president of Park Road Sports, Simon Brdanovic and WaipaDistrict Council parks and heritage manager, Max Ward.

Serving TA Marist, BMX and Soccer

Huge mounds of earth to formthe new Te Awamutu BMX Clubtrack are a tangible sign some-thing is happening on ParkRoad, but the behind the sceneswork to form Park Road Sportshas been going on for severalyears.

Park Road Sports was incor-porated in June 2008 and wasformed for the specific purposeof serving the needs of thecommunity and, in particular,Te Awamutu Soccer, Te Awa-mutu Marist and Te AwamutuBMX.

Another tangible sign timesare changing at the former TeAwamutu Marist grounds hasbeen the appearance of a newsign and a new name —Castleton Park — recognisingthe contribution made to thenew facility by adjoining land-owner Ken Castleton.

‘‘Available land at Te Awa-mutu Marist which, with theadjoining property owned by MrCastleton also potentially avail-able for immediate acquisition,has resulted in the creation of asports park which is an excellentcommunity facility accessibleby, and for the benefit of, thegeneral public,’’ says Park RoadSports president, SimonBrdanovic.

Mr Castleton, mindful of theneed to provide opportunities for

local sporting groups, sold threehectares of land to the project,allowing vital expansion ofexisting facilities.

Park Road Sports wasinstigated because of the com-mon need of the three sportinggroups for a suitable ‘home’ andcertainty about the future.

‘‘BMX has become one of TeAwamutu’s most successfulsports with its membersobtaining representative hon-ours,’’ Mr Brdanovic says.

‘‘By becoming involved withPark Road Sports, BMX is alsonow able to look to build andmaintain its own internationalstandard BMX Track, which willenable it to host national, andpotentially international,tournaments.

‘‘Te Awamutu Soccer Clubhas one of the largest juniormemberships of any club intown, but its growth has beenhindered by the disparate andlimited facilities available to it.

‘‘Through its involvement inPark Road Sports it has theopportunity to have a centrallocation for its sports groundsand ample clubrooms.

‘‘Te Awamutu Marist was oneof the few clubs in Te Awamututo own its own land. Now that ithas sold the land to WaipaDistrict Council, and donated itsbuilding to Park Road Sports,

these clubs are able to worktogether to promote and developfacilities and resources for theircombined membership.’’

The clubs formed a workinggroup several years ago toexplore the possibility of work-ing collectively for the develop-ment of various sporting codesfor the benefit of the significantjunior numbers which each clubpossesses.

Council has taken a key rolein seeking to assist the clubs toachieve their goals and at thesame time, assure the future ofthis valuable green space insidethe Te Awamutu town boundary.

The outcome has been that TeAwamutu Marist has sold itsland to the Waipa District Coun-cil on the basis of a lease back toPark Road Sports Incorporatedfor the benefit of the three clubswho are members.

Te Awamutu Soccer has jun-ior numbers of approximately400, BMX has 60 and Te Awa-mutu Marist has 70 juniors.

All members of these individ-ual clubs are members of ParkRoad Sports Incorporated andhave the ability to use the formerTe Awamutu Marist land at ParkRoad, Te Awamutu, along withthe building housing theclubrooms, generously donatedby Te Awamutu Marist to ParkRoad Sports.

Sparkling couple mark milestone

TC120411CA01

ABOVE: 60th wedding anniversary couple Dougand Win Bain at their Mystery Creek homeLEFT: the happy couple are captured on theirwedding day by local photographer Nelson Irving.

BY CATHY ASPLIN

Doug and Win Bain(nee Lucas) met at awedding dance in thePuahue Hall.

They were engaged inMarch 1950 and marriedin the Old St John’sChurch in Te Awamutuon March 31, 1951.

Their honeymoonsaw them covering somemiles in a hired ‘Ford 10’- from Waitomo all theway down to Christ-church to meet some orMr Bain’s family.

Mr Bain was abuilder so after theyreturned they settled atTe Mata where he had acontract to constructLands and Surveyhouses.

‘‘We lived in shearersquarters and a caravanduring that time. It waspretty basic - no poweror hot water.

‘‘If we wanted a bathwe had to boil the cop-per. Our toilet was downthe hill.’’

Because of theisolated, hilly country-side Mr Bain had tosledge timber in to buildthe houses.

The couple finallymoved to ‘civilisation’when they shifted toHamilton at the end of1951.

They had earlier pur-chased a section in Hill-crest and Mr Bain builttheir own small, one-bedroom home.

As the childrenarrived the house wasextended.

‘‘We had four chil-

dren while we were liv-ing there, so by the timewe left it was a fivebedroom home!’’

During those yearsMr Bain built grouphouses, state houses andprivate houses.

His final job wasworking on theTrevellyn retirementvillage before the Bainfamily shifted to Mys-tery Creek.

Their fifth child wasborn there and thecouple are still livingthere today.

They initiallybrought 100 acres(across the road fromwhere the MysteryCreek Events Centre istoday) to operate a dairyfarm.

At the time therewere only six houses onthe metal road.

Mr Bain admits hiswife took to the farmingbetter than him

‘‘She was a farmer’sdaughter and got on bet-ter with the cows than Idid.’’

In 1973 they sold partof the farm and over theyears other portionshave been sold as thearea has built up.

Mr and Mrs Bainhave watched the Mys-tery Creek site developand Fieldays grow into ahuge event.

They have hostednumerous people fromaround New Zealandand visitors fromcountries around theworld.

In turn the couplehave visited a number of

those places.They have been

motor home enthusiastsfor many year travellingby motorhome throughEurope, England, Aus-tralia (1983), the USA(1988) and Canada (1992).

In some countriesthey hired vans while inothers they had theirown motorhome.

In New Zealand theywere part of a motorvanclub and made manyfriends around thecountry.

Over the years theirmotorhome was often

used as an extra bed-room.

‘‘But now we’ve gotone for sale.’’

The couple have hadmany involvements inthe community and are

still active.Mrs Bain is a Plunket

life member and belongsto the Te AwamutuMachine Knitters Club.

She still does charitywork and is busy plan-

ning the Anzac Dayluncheon in Ohaupo.

Mr Bain was a mem-ber of the CommerceClub and is still playinggolf at Lochiel.

Both are computerliterate so they can keepup with news and familymembers, although theyare a little annoyed thatthey still have to usedial-up so close to a largecity.

They have five sons:Norman is a computerprogrammer in Sydney,Trevor is a farmer inWanaka, Kevin is anelectrical consultant inHamilton, Maurice is amechanic in Opotiki andIan is a farmer in Otoro-hanga.

They also have 12grandchildren and onegreat-grandchild.

To celebrate theiranniversary they had aluncheon at home withfamily and friends. Theyreceived numerouscards, flowers and phonecalls of congratulations.

To mark their anni-versary they also have atrip planned to Aus-tralia.

Cheylin Leat steps out of hercomfort zone into new life

TC120411SP11

CHRISTIAN COUPLE: Whitey and Cheylin Leat of Ohaupo.

When the Alpha Dinner washosted at Te Awamutu BibleChapel last year, Cheylin Leatsat in her car in the carpark toonervous to get out.

‘‘I was absolutely scared, sofar out of my comfort zone, andwondering what I was doingthere.

‘‘Would they know I wasn’t aChristian, and at that pointdidn’t hold a particularly highopinion of them? Would theyknow I was involved with NewAge practices?

‘‘Next thing I knew, I wasgoing in the door. To this day Ihave no memory of getting outof the car! I was made to feelvery welcome, I met somelovely people and the meal waswonderful too.

‘‘Then the DVD started. Itwas an experience I will notforget. The presenter, NickyGumble, seemed to be lookingright inside of me, seeing thedark, gaping hole that neverseemed to fill. Seeing the pain,doubt and ugliness of my life. Iwas shocked he knew how I wasfeeling. And he was telling methat Jesus, God and the HolySpirit were the way to beingwhole.’’

Mrs Leat’s curiosity wasaroused and she decided to goback and attend the course.

‘‘The other thing that sur-prised me was there was nopressure to do so from thegroup running Alpha. It wasmade clear on the first nightthat if we didn’t want to con-tinue, then that was OK. But ifwe wanted to come back, wewould be welcome. And as Icertainly was.

‘‘Each week I attended, I wasmet with smiles and fellowship.

I looked forward to eachSunday — the meal, the com-pany, the DVD with a new topiceach week and discussion after-wards.

‘ ‘Midway through thecourse, there was a weekendaway. It was great fun and areal highlight. I decided to giveme heart to the Lord thatweekend, and became a Chris-tian. I then elected to startattending church. My husbandand son decided to come alongas well after a week or two, tosee why I was changing.

‘‘Thanks to that start atAlpha, my husband has alsobecome a Christian, and lastyear saw us baptised and renewour marriage vows as Chris-tians.’’

The Leats moved to theWaikato nine years ago fromAuckland.

‘‘There has always been nodoubt in our minds God existed,and that he held a place in ourlives. On moving to the Wai-kato, we spent a number of

years hiding away from peopleas I had depression and suf-fered a breakdown before weleft Auckland,’’ Mrs Leat says.

‘‘I had no desire to mix withpeople and meeting strangerswas just too much outside mycomfort zone. At the start of2009, our young son startedasking us some deep and mean-ingful questions about God.Some, we couldn’t answer. Atthe same time, I had startedquestioning my faith in God.

‘‘I had been watching thechanges in my oldest son, Fonzin Auckland — he had become aChristian a few years earlier,and I was amazed and per-plexed with the changes in him.Weren’t we both investing ourfaith in the same God? Why waswhat he had so much betterthan what we appeared to? Dueto our religious differences, wedidn’t really see eye to eye, andone day he said to me, “If youget the chance to do an AlphaCourse, it might answer yourquestions”.

‘‘Lo and behold, the nextweek, an article was in theCourier about an upcomingAlpha Course at Te AwamutuBible Chapel. Before I knew it, Ihad rung and put my namedown for the course. At thispoint, my husband Whitey hadno interest in coming with me,but supported my decision togo.’’

Mrs Leat says the Alphacourse has been the catalyst fora whole new life in their home.

‘‘At times the personalgrowth is testing and the trialsof life just as difficult. Thedifference is, we have faith inthe Lord to guide us, keep ussafe and give us direction. He isour rock and refuge.

‘‘I would recommend theAlpha Course to anyone, irres-pective of their beliefs,backgrounds or length of timeas a Christian – practicing ornot. Alpha provides a pressurefree, friendly environment tolearn more about Jesus, Godand the Holy Spirit.

‘‘The Alpha Course alsoshows the relevance of God inour world today and how hisword, The Bible, is timeless andreally is the living word. Thereis the opportunity to changeyour life, if you want to. Don’tbe afraid – give it a go.’’

Te Awamutu Bible Chapelwill be hosting a banquet din-ner on April 17 to kick off thisyear’s Alpha Course.

The dinner will be followedby the first DVD in the Alphaseries, "Christianity, Boring,True and Irrelevant? The din-ner is provided free of chargebut bookings are essential.Phone 871 8667 for moreinformation.

Support group on afundraising mission

In October last year we featured the story ofbreast cancer sufferer Glenda Rhodes and herplan to form a Te Awamutu support group.

The response was terrific, not just fromwomen who hadbeen, or were being,treated for breastcancer — but alsofrom other groupsand the businessesin the community.

Women are stillmaking enquiriesabout the Te Awa-mutu Breast CancerSupport Group,which recently grewin size from eight to10 members.

Mrs Rhodes saysthis year the groupdecided to do some-

thing to help at Waikato Hospital, and withinput from staff, are fundraising for a new coffeemachine for the Chemotherapy Unit.

The unit is used by cancer patients of allages, and the current machine is on its last legs,so a new machine will be appreciated by a goodnumber of patients.

Mrs Rhodes says Cerebos have given a $1000discount on the price of their machine thatmakes tea, coffee and hot chocolate at the pushof a button, so they are fundraising $3000.

To date they have over $2300 from raffles,cake stalls and car boot sales, and this Sundayhave a Family Fun Walk around Lake Ngarotoplanned to push them towards their goal.

The walk starts at 10am and entry is by goldcoin.

The group meets monthly — with the nextmeeting on Thursday at 10.30am.

Meetings are a way of sharing stories,talking through issues and experiences andplanning projects to help others and themselves.

Valray Country Music Promotions is assist-ing with a major country music concert in June,with funds benefiting support group membersin their times of need.

Anyone interested in being part of the group,or wanting more information, can contact MrsRhodes (870 6155).

World Cup joy for Johnstone at KihikihiDesigner John Nicholson’s course major drawcard for riders

TC120311CT01

TOP COMBO: Clarke Johnstone and Orient Express on their way to a clear showjumpinground and victory in the FEI World Cup Event at Kihikihi on Sunday.

Clarke Johnstone delivered a clear show-jumping round under intense pressure to winthe first FEI World Cup Event at Kihikihi.

Course-designer Gerrit Beker had set atough technical challenge for the final phase,leaving no room for complacency despiteJohnstone going into the ring with a rail inhand.

Johnstone looked calm and confidentaboard his 12-year-old bay gelding OrientExpress and the combination produced apolished round to finish the competition ontheir dressage score of 45.7 penalties.

Australian Chris Burton and the impress-ive Holstein Park Leilani dropped a rail withone time penalty to finish on a final score of50.9 penalties in second place.

Johnstone produced another clear roundwith one time penalty on his younger horseIncognito to also take third place (53.2penalties).

Australian Shane Rose and Taurusdropped into fourth place after lowering a railto finish the competition on a score of 54.7penalties.

Originally from the South Island, John-stone is a full time rider based in Matanginear Cambridge. He was a member of thebronze medal-winning New Zealand eventingteam at the World Equestrian Games inKentucky in 2010.

Johnstone and Orient Express led from goto whoa at Kihikihi after producing a classydressage test on day one to finish on a score of45.7 penalties, barely a whisker ahead ofvisiting Australian rider Chris Burton(Holstein Park Leilani) on 45.9 penalties.

New Zealander Lizzie Brown and HentonAttorney General finished in third place on46.8 penalties after the horse made a couple ofuncharacteristic dressage errors whichrobbed them of a better score.

Rose and the talented Taurus, andCantabrian Alice Montgomery and Gordonfinished fourth equal on a score of 50.7penalties after both producing quality rhyth-mic tests.

The action then switched to the cross-country on Saturday when riders tackledJohn Nicholson’s testing track — a challengerelished by top riders from both sides of the

Tasman.Johnstone and Orient Express produced a

confident, fast clear round ensuring that thepair remained on their dressage score of 45.7penalties, just ahead of Burton on HolsteinPark Leilani. Burton also delivered a polishedround on his chestnut mare to finish on hisdressage score of 45.9 penalties, leavingJohnstone no room for error in the finalshow-jumping phase.

Rose shifted into third position (50.7penalties) with a fast, clear round on Taurus,after overnight third-placeholders Brown andHenton Attorney General parted companymid-course.

Johnstone also guided Incognito clear andunder time to move up two places into fourthposition (52.2 penalties).

Kihikihi first-timer Simon Gordon, whorepresented New Zealand twice as a youngrider, showed expertise well beyond his 21years to bring his two horses home clear andend the cross-country phase in fifth (SimplyMitch, 68.9 penalties) and sixth (Fletch.com,71.1 penalties).

The FEI World Cup Eventing series nowmoves to Sydney on May 6-8.

The ruling World Equestrian body, theFEI, has set stringent standards for this eventand Kihikihi is one of just eight events in theworld to claim World Cup status.

Waipa mayor, Alan Livingston says theKihikihi Eventing organising committee hasresponded superbly and this group of commit-ted volunteers has again done a great job inpresenting and running an event of interna-tional standard.

‘‘This is a special event at a special venueand Waipa District is pleased to be a sponsorand associated with it.

‘‘While the Kihikihi Domain is centrestage, we are indeed fortunate to utilise theadjoining properties of John and KarenNicholson for the cross-country, and Paul andJenny Kay for the dressage. Combined theyprovide an outstanding and multi-use eques-trian facility.

‘‘Thank you for the willing support of allsponsors. Without whose support such a highcalibre international event could not besuccessfully staged.’’

In one of the moreremarkable comebacks,Rick Dobson has beenselected to fight for theveteran’s world title aswell as taking on therole of team coach/manager.

It is 14 years sincethe former Europeanchampion competed atthis level.

Dobson surprised alland sundry when win-ning the veteran’s titleat the New Zealandnational champion-ships last year — fulfil-ling a goal of his tocompete again afterundergoing open heartsurgery.

‘‘It’s a great honourfor me to be back com-peting after all thoseyears,’’ says Dobson.

‘ ‘Hopefully, myteam-mates see it as abig boost to have myexperience alongside them, although wedo a number of experienced coaching staffwith us.’’

Dobson says the team overall is verystrong this year.

‘‘Having people like two times worldjunior bronze medallist Sam Rist andmulti times national champion Max Dob-son on the team is great encouragement toall the new members.’’

The team — also including PhantomTe Awamutu’s Jo Gibson, Amelia

Vickers, Tohu Tamaki, Callum Rist andJack Connor — was selected on theirprevious year’s performance. All thesecompetitors have won major titles orwere ranked high up in their divisionsnationally throughout the year.

Each member needs to raiseapproximately $4100 to pay for the tripand are actively looking at ways to gainthe funds.

If there are any businesses in townwilling to support them, they can contact

Rick Dobson on 0272552522 — ‘‘there are anumber of ways we could be supportedand I am appreciative of anything,’’ saysDobson.

The local kickboxers in the team havereceived grants already from both theCornerstone Trust and Mbar, along withfinancial assistance from Zero LimitsHealth & Fitness Club.

‘‘A huge thank you to these organisa-tions for their support, but we desperatelyneed to raise more funds.’’

Langman centre of attentionbringing up magic milestone

TC120311SP17

MAGIC centurian Laura Langman pictured playing against theCentral Pulse in this year’s ANZ Trans Tasman Championship.

At the time of going to presslast night — Laura Langmanwas poised to join an exclusiveclub when Waikato/Bay ofPlenty Magic tackled NSWSwifts in ANZ Championshipnetball action in Tauranga.

The captain becomes thesecond player in as manyweeks to celebrate 100 matchesfor Magic but was hoping for adifferent outcome from thatexperienced by Irene van Dyk.

The fleet-footed Langman,24, has gone on to fashion astellar career since makingheadlines in 2003 when namedin the Magic team for the firsttime while still at school. Shehas been an automatic selec-tion ever since.

Inaugural centurion, vanDyk could not cap her mile-stone on a winning note —when Magic went down byfour goals to the QueenslandFirebirds in a tight top-of-the-table clash in the latest round— something Langman washoping to achieve.

‘‘It’s a very special momentand I’m really honoured tohave been able to serve forsuch a long time with Magic,’’she says.

‘‘In such a competitive com-petition, loyalty is sometimesput on the backburner so it’s areal credit to Magic that theenvironment that they’vecreated is exceptional and cer-tainly one that you’d have toconsider seriously if youwanted to up and leave.’’

The Swifts clash marks acrucial phase for Magic duringwhich they will play threegames in seven days.

In the condensed season, all

teams experience a double-header round at some stageand, for Magic, the emphasisis on staying grounded as therace for play-off spots intensi-fies.

‘‘Next week is going to be ahuge week,’’ says Langman.

‘ ‘The double headerrounds, on top of travel, littleniggles and just the intensityof the competition really addsto how hard it is.

‘‘We have spent a lot of timeon recovery and ensuring wetransition properly from thewarm weather in Australiaback to here, where it’sstarting to get a little bitcolder, and making the risk ofillness quite high.’’

Langman says it’s theattention to detail.

‘‘We want to get off to agood start and ultimately winall those three games. But it’sa matter of taking it game bygame, otherwise you’re at riskof getting a little bitoverwhelmed by it all.’’

Despite the loss toFirebirds, their second of theseason, Langman is pleasedwith the continued develop-ment of the team and in par-ticular, the progress ofnewcomers Julianna Naoupuand Sulu Tone-Fitzpatrick,and the renaissance of JessTuki — ‘‘Jess has finally founda home at wing attack,’’ shesays.

‘‘To be able to progress atthe rate they have in a com-petition of this calibre is abso-lutely massive — talk aboutlearning on the job.

‘‘All three have beenphenomenal and have

stamped their mark on thecompetition.

‘‘They’ve come along in

leaps and bounds and it isgreat for Magic and great fortheir future careers.’’

Two from twofor Firehawks

Te Awamutu Sports Firehawks are unbeatenafter two rounds of the Waikato premier reserverugby league competition.

The Firehawks kick started their season with a38-4 thrashing of Hamilton City Tigers Black atAlbert Park.

Isaac Howell scored a brace of first half triesand Kaleb Howell one try.

The floodgates opened in the second half withtries going to Harley Clarke, Renee Ahu, TanaMuraahi, Isaac Howell (who completed his hat-trick of tries) and Anton Owen. Howell added threeconversions.

Marj Heke-Waaka reports that Rangariri pro-vided much tougher opposition in the secondround playing at home, taking advantage ofFirehawks’ basic errors.

She says it was the Firehawks’ superiordiscipline that saw them come out on top 32-26.

Howell took his try tally to five in two gameswith a brace, while Renee Ahu (2), Adam Clerkeand Luke Hansen also dotted down for fourpointers.

Howell converted four of the six tries.

Connolly teamwin at Kihikihi

Sports bounce back with win over Marist

TC120311DT09

SPORTS’ midfielder Jordan Davies has Carl Finlay in support as he goes to the ground in a tackle against Hamilton Maristat Albert Park on Saturday.

TC120311DT08

NATHAN GEORGE was on target with three conversionsand two penalties for Sports against Hamilton Marist.

Ecolab Te AwamutuSports responded in the bestpossible fashion to a heavyloss the previous week —recording a thrilling 32-28win over Hamilton Marist.

Peter Bain reports that itwas the first time Sports hadbeaten Marist since 2005 and,with four key players awaywith the Waikato Sevensteam in Melrose, victory wasthat much sweeter.

Both sides moved the ball

around Albert Park in enter-taining fashion in the warm,dry conditions.

The lead changed handsseveral times, keeping thecrowd on tenterhooks.

Marist opened the scoringwith a penalty try afterSports failed to find touchand were caught short ofdefenders out wide.

Nathan George soon madeit 7-3 with the first of his twopenalties for the home team.

Sports kept the pressureon, stringing severalswitches of play together.Quick ruck ball put lockChris Middleton into a gap toset up wing Henare Raukawafor a try out wide.

George added the conver-sion for a 10-7 lead, only forSports to concede a penaltyfrom the kick off and Maristequalised.

Sports had the better ofthe closing stages of the half,

mounting a number of driv-ing mauls near the Maristgoal-line.

The constant pressurepaid off when Middletonagain was on hand to pop apass to George to score handyto the posts for a 17-13halftime lead.

Sports were straight backinto their work after thebreak, trapping Marist deepinside their half.

A clearing kick went

straight to wing InokeTuibua who kicked ahead,regathered and fed fullbackWaylon Tangohau to score inthe corner.

George again convertedfrom wide out, then added apenalty for a 27-13 scoreline.

Marist kept in touch witha penalty but were sooncalled on to defend as Sportsturned up the heat oncemore.

Desperate, scramblingdefence prevented them fromscoring on a couple of occa-sions before hooker and cap-tain Simon Kay was therecipient of a fourth bonuspoint try after the Sports’

pack drove to the line from alineout five metres out.

Sports held a handy 32-16lead but Marist charged backinto contention in the last 15minutes, scoring two latetries to close to within fourpoints.

Stand out players wereSimon Kay, who was inspira-tional leading his teamaround the park, andMiddleton, who dominatedthe lineouts and featured inopen play.

George controlled playwell from first five and wasin good goal kicking form.

Sports next game is awayto Melville.
